CHICAGO, Ill., USA: The ICOI Summer Symposium might have just officially begun less than 24 hours ago, but there is no time being wasted at this meeting. Thursday’s main podium sessions kicked off with a bang, diving headfirst into “Solutions to Malpositioned Implants and Migrating Implants,” presented by Dr. Randolph Resnik, and finishing up with “Avoiding Implant Complications with the Use of 3D Imaging,” presented by Dr. Justin Moody.

Between those were Dr. Aldo Leopardi’s discussion on “Prosthetic Management of the Failed Implant Site” and Dr. Charles Goodacre’s advice on “Determining When to Extract a Tooth and Place an Implant OR Retain a Tooth Through Root Canal Treatment/Periodontal Treatment OR Place a Conventional Fixed Partial Denture.”

Even more is scheduled for the next three days. Topics to be covered include treatment planning, surgical and prosthetical complications, treatment of peri-implant diseases, vertical bone augmentation and the legality around implant complications. Featured speakers include Drs. Robert Blackwell, Lyndon Cooper, Frank De Luca, Ken Hebel, Les Kalman, Ricardo Mitrani, Ady Palti, Yvan Poitras, Thomas Rams, Paul Rosen, Guido Sarnachiaro, Edwin Scher and Raymond Yukna.

Of course, not everything is for just clinicians. Accompanying the doctor program is the two-and-a-half-day auxiliary program given by the ADIA and designed by Lynn Mortilla, RDH. Program highlights include dental technology and post-op implant care in addition to a variety of certification classes.

Over in the exhibit hall, 70-plus companies are waiting to give attendees demonstrations on their latest products and technology. A few of the highlights include:

Ellman International, demonstrating its Surgitron line of advanced radiofrequency (RF) generators. Operating at a frequency of 4.0 MHz, the Surgitron is designed to provide surgical precision and controlled hemostasis for a variety of procedures.
i-CAT, showcasing its new i-CAT FLX CBCT, featuring award-winning FLX technology and new Tx STUDIO 5.3 treatment-planning software. The i_CAT FLX offers 3-D imaging at a dose lower than a 2-D panoramic X-ray with QuickScan.
